    It also depends somewhat on the accupuncturist as well. Are they experienced in preg/labour specifically?
    I had acupuncture throughout my pg for a few different things and started at 38 weeks with moxibustion as he was posterior. At 39.5 weeks started with electrodes and had 2 sessions of this. I went in to labour about 8 hours after the second session

    I had 5 sessions all up from 38 weeks to 42! I never went into labour,(failed VBAC attempt ) but after each session I had strong period pain cramping, and at 41+5 was 3cms dliated so I think it definitely was doing something. The guy I saw said roughly 3 sessions as well but I guess everyone is different. Hang in there Leesa!!
